CSRCompiler, an SoC integration and automation software solution, accelerates time to market for AI inference and HPC applications and enables energy-efficient designs at a fraction of the cost.
Campbell, California, June 11, 2024 — Arteris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIP), a leading provider of System IP to accelerate the creation of systems-on-chip (SoC), today announced that Esperanto Technologies™, a leading developer of high-performance, energy-efficient artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) solutions based on the RISC-V instruction set, selected Arteris for its CSRCompiler design familiarity for automation efficiencies, error reduction and integration capabilities. Esperanto will continue to leverage the SoC software to develop next-generation energy-efficient solutions for AI inference and HPC workloads for data center and enterprise edge applications.
At the heart of Esperanto's solution is the ET-SoC-1 “supercomputer-on-chip,” designed to run Generative AI and HPC workloads while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) through extremely energy-efficient operation. This complex SoC integrates over 1,000 energy-efficient 64-bit RISC-V cores with custom vector/tensor units optimized for machine learning (ML) applications, and can run modern large language models (LLMs) at a fraction of the power required by GPUs, making it versatile for data centers and the enterprise edge. Massive processor parallelism and configuration of register and memory maps make the integration automation software CSRCompiler essential to deliver higher quality silicon and faster time to market.
“Arteris is a leader in SoC integration automation technology and their software is a critical part of our silicon design flow for managing complexity,” said Art Swift, president and CEO of Esperanto Technologies. “Arteris' CSRCompiler software is a key enabler in achieving our silicon performance and power efficiency goals that address the needs of the expanding data center and enterprise edge markets.”
“We are pleased to continue to play a key role in the development of Esperanto's highly complex SoC,” said K. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris. “CSRCompiler streamlines design workflows and accelerates turnaround times, enabling our customers to meet rapidly changing market demands.”
Arteris' CSRCompiler streamlines the creation of hardware/software interface (HSI) foundations. The SoC integration automation software automates HSI design, verification, firmware, and documentation, providing multi-language support without additional scripting. The methodology supports an agile flow that ensures best practices and early involvement of the entire team through collaborative management from a single source specification. CSRCompiler delivers a complete, accurate, and up-to-date design ecosystem, turning address map sharing into a smooth, integrated process, preventing design errors and reducing turnaround time.
